Ok, don't chew me out here ok?
I know it isn't safe...but the last two weeks my single unit has been running flawlessly, only after lifting the ground of the inverter out put to the sub panel. My unit is mounted in a metal quonset hut building, everything is basically bonded to ground. My house is old and so is the grid service entrance (old square D QO) I know I have more than one spot where N is bonded to G but I would have to tear everything out and start over to fix it. (the old half of the house is an old 2 wire system, no ground wire among other issues...) Landing the G from the inverter was causing all sorts of headaches; flickering lights, high bus faults, inaccurate readings on the solarpower app, funny humming/rattling noises from the inverter, ect... I tried the capacitor trick nc73 was telling us about, I tried 14uF, 16uF, even a 50uF capacitor on both the grid and inverter side L1-L2... no change, it didn't help. When you guys started talking about the current sensing wires for your parallel units, I half way wondered if the ground loop is what is confusing our inverters. If the current sensors are picking up transient currents because of the ground loop issues, then the control circuit would go haywire causing all sorts of problems. This is just me thinking out loud again, hoping we might figure something out...
I know that it has been discussed extensively all over, but there still seems to be confusion on the subject of the N-G bond inside our inverters. I would like to get a second LVX6048 and run them in parallel, but it seems that no one has figured it out yet, and so I am hesitant to do it.
I know its not safe to run equipment without a ground, but for testing purposes, it might be worth a try....
@ Ian30, Insulso1, and Boondox and your stepson, have you guys tried running your units in parallel without the GROUND landed?
please don't try it if you don't feel safe doing it!
